Self-Guided Notes Social Contexts of Learning
I’ve tried to lighten this up because you have all had a busy week • These slides are a “replacement” for your background reading…so expect them to focus on Social Contexts learning theory (specifically Bronfenbrenner) • Please do Angela and Sharrisa’s facilitation activities first before starting these slides. Plan:
Please read the following slides and do each thought question/task before going to the next slide • Thought questions are just that—things for you to think about. • Tasks are items that must be submitted: • Task #1: “Talking” to each other • Task #2: C-map Comments • Please be sure to get these done before next week’s class Your Tasks
In critique of some of the other theories that we have learned about, Bronfenbrenner said: “…it can be said that much of contemporary developmental psychology is the science of the strange behavior of children in strange situations with strange adults for the briefest possible periods of time.” Bronfenbrenner, U. (1977). Toward an Experimental Ecology of Human Development. American Psychologist, 32, 513-531. Thought Question: What do you think he meant by this? • Think about an answer to this question and keep this in mind for the upcoming task (no need to submit your answer for this question).
Development is impacted by the relationships of people and their environments • These environments include not just the immediate environment, but also the world in which we live (the larger environments) Development According to Bronfenbrenner:
Watch ONE of these short student made videos that explain Bronfenbrenner’s theory (all under 5 minutes): • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me7103oIE-g (the basics) • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moa-MY9EpZY (bit of history on Bronfenbrenner along with his theory) • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5htRhvm4iyI (maybe easiest to understand/remember) A Quick Introduction
The Developing Person • Home (Microsystem) • Community Program (Mesosystem) • Child & Family Policy (Exosystem) • Values, attitudes (Macrosystem) • Time and Place (Chronosystem) Review:Urie Bronfenbrenner’s Bio-ecological model of child development
How does the world that one lives in help or hinder development? • Examples? Thought Question #2:
Read though the selected reflection quotes from your peers. These can be found at: http://blogs.ubc.ca/epse501/shawnas-social-contexts-of-learning-page/ • Choose one quote to respond to. Please either: • Relate what your classmate has said to Bronfenbrenner’s theory (how does is apply or not apply?) or • Relate the comment to the classroom and/or to the thought questions posed earlier in these slides. ***Please choose a quote that has not yet been responded to (until everyone has at least one comment) Task #1: “Talking” to Each Other (to be submitted)
Look at your classmates C-maps. Write one comment or suggestion about someone’s map. • This should be something that you think needs clarification, or correction, or addition to. • How might you suggest that they make their map more robust? ***Please comment on someone’s map that does not yet have a response to it Final Task (#2):
